    Difference between these two cables

    I have two cables, both have the solix input on one end and the helix on the other, difference is length of the cable. I can only find numbers on the cable on is a 490506-1(B) and the other is 490537-1. I'm pretty sure one is for the DI adapter on my ultrex w/DI to my Helix 9 G3n and the other is to the Mega 360 to a helix...just not sure which one.

    The 10' cable is the one that comes with a MEGA 360 to connect it directly to a Helix.

    There are two 36' ones that are the Minnkota built-in MEGA Imaging adapters.
    The original one is for the MDI transducer and is the MKR-MDI-1
    The current one that replaced it is and works with the MDI and MSI transducers is the MKR-MI-1.

    The MKR-MDI-1 will not work with the MEGA 360 and the other 10' included 14-pin transducer cable that is an extension cable to use that one to connect to a Helix. It doesn't have the SI circuits.
